INTRODUCTION
Ayurveda is a science of life. This is most auspicious and scared of all sciences.It is
originated from Atharva Veda.The Rig and Yajurveda also hold substantial role of
Ayurveda. The word Ayurveda has not seen as such in the Vedas but a considerable
portions of the Vedas is devoted for the promotion of long life, prevention of disease and
to medical treatment
Since 19th centuary there has been noted progress in the Indian medicine. Currently
prameha is considered to be due to metabolic disturbance and insulin, Ayurveda has
required an important place in the competitive world along with other branches of
medicine by the special knowledge and modes of treatment of Madhumeha.
Madhumeha is more or less found in all countries. However the incidence is more in the
persons addicted to unwholesome diet and action. A large population of the world
specially persons of Asian subcontinent are afflicted by the disease.
Diabetes was known to ancient Indians as early as 6th centuary2 .Charaka in his Charaka
samhita has mentioned the sweetness of urine in addition to polturia.3 He collected
material from much earlier workers of Agnivesha who based his writing on the teachings
of Atreya who lived in the 6th centuary B.C4.The Indian physician Susrutha in 500 A.D
described the disease as Madhumeha with symptoms of foul breath, voracious appetite
and languor,besides Charaka and Susrutha samhitas. Other early Indian example:Astanga
Hrudaya, Bhavaprakasha, Madhava nidana ,Sarangadhara samhita etc. have also
described Madhumeha as Diabetes.
The Indian indigenous agents can be divided into groups according totheir source of
origin viz. vegetable or herbal and mineral preparations. Vegetable or herbal agents
administered as “swarasa” “kwatha” “churna” “asavas” and “aristas” constitute the
majority of Indian indigenous anti diabeticdrugs. Mineral preparation is given as
“bhasmas” are comparatively fewer. The bulk of information on this indigenous drugs is
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
scatered in fragments with many individuals and in age old books and manuscripts
which are some time out of print.However a few books examples:- Vaman Ganesh
Desai’s Aushadi sangrah5, Nadkarnis Materia medica6,7 and Chopras indigenous drugs
of India8 and some reviews of Mukerjee9,Ajgonkar10, Chowhan and Sen11 have given
some comprehensive lists of such drugs are claimed to be useful in Diabetes.
A middle aged person, who is apparently normal, may start complaining of weakness,
excessive urination during nights and increase of hunger. Unless these complaints are
voiced by the patients, it is difficult to notice that the person is suffering from disease. On
a through investigation, the person is diagnosed as suffering from Diabetes mellitus
(Madhumeha). Generally Madhumeha is known as a “richmans disease” particularly
because a person who is able to enjoy the pleasure of life (over nutrition) without any
perceptible exercise is usually affected with this disease. The importance of over nutrition
is shown by the fact that over the age of 40, some 80% of the patients developing
diabetes are, have been considerably overweight. The question is relevant that “Every
excess causes a defect, every defect an excess”12. Broadly speaking both the incidence
and mortality of diabetes after middle age vary directly with the degree of obesity.
Madhumeha is achronic disease of relapsing nature13. The disease is also a debilitating
one. The treatment for the disease, at present, in modern science is based on the
additional supply of insulin, which is very disadvantageous to a patient to be continued
indefinetly. Researches are being conducted throughout the world to find permanent cure
for this disease. The efficacy of the Ayurvedic treatment has to be scientifically
investigated thoroughly.
Accordingly care has been taken not only to select a compound drug and simple yoga
from those prescribed for the disease in the sastra, but also to select and easily available
drugs and a yoga which is easy to prepare and administer. The drug selected thus is
“Somarajyadi churnam” and the yoga selected constitute of Bakuchi ,Avarthaki,
Madhunashini, Sunti. It is anubhuta yoga. These drugs collective have got Madhumeha
hara property and also kapha medohara gunas.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Thus ,the aim and scope of the present work has been limited,
1. To a clinical study on prameha/ Madhumeha and,
2. To a clinical study of the effect of Somarajyadi churnam in the management of
prameha.
The disease , the drug and the clinical study are discussed in forth coming pages.

HISTORY
Study of sequential evolution is primestep in research field. Study of history is
important to know about the systematic development and progress of the subject to
determine the future plans for further establishment and research designing. Here present
review related to prameha is explained.
The evolution of Madhumeha can be traced from Vedas but in rudimentary form,
when we go through the Athrvaveda there is a reference related to the disease ‘Asrava1’
along with its management. Sayanacharya opined that asrava means ‘Mutraatisara’ the
English translator Whitney (1962) interpreted it has Fulx and Griffith (1962) as
morbidflow, while layman has translated the meaning of asrava as Diabetes mellitus2
Sayanacharya highlighted the vatic nature of this ailment.
A)Samhita period :- Explorative discretion of disease Madhumeha occurs at
samhitaperiod .
1)Charaka samhita:- In this ancient treatise of medical science, charaka explained the
etiology, pathogeness, symptomatology, complications and treatment modalites in detail
in Nidana 4th and chikitsa 6th chapter. While in sutra sthana 17th chapter he described the
avaranajanya pathogenesis of Madhumeha, this is the unique contribution of this treatise3
.
2)Susruta samhita:- Susruta also explained Prameha in elaborative manner with separate
chapter on its management. He used ‘Kshoudrameha’ synonym to Madhumeha in nidana
6th chapter. He typically mentioned the kashayas according to each type of prameha and
mentioned the body constitution and symptoms related to sahaja and apathyanimittaja
prameha.
3)Astangahridaya:- Detail description about the disease is given as in charaka and
susrutasamhatas with slight moderations. He added some new herbs and herbal
compounds as well as rasausadhis for the treatment.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
4)Harita samhita:- Harita mentioned it as papajanya and enumerated 13 types of
prameha with nomenclature different than above treatise like, puyameha, ghritameha etc.
5)Bhela samhita:- He described prameha is of two types i.e svakrita and prakritameha4 .
6)Kashyapa samhita:- He mentioned the symptoms of prameha child in vedanadhyana
and noted the disease as chirakari.
B) Medievalperiod:- In this period commentaries mainly written, but most of them
contains only the collection of thoughts from previous authors.
1)Madhavanidana:- He collectively repeated the description of charaka, susruta and
vagbhata in 33rd chapter.
2)Gayadasa:- Explained the avilamutrata because of the presence of dooshya in it.
3)Sarangadhara samhita:- Only mentioned the 20 types of prameha in prathama khanda
7th chapter.
4)Bhavaprakasha:- He described prameha and Madhumeha along with some new
herbomineral preparations in madhyama khanda 38th chapter.
5)Yogaratnakara:- Explained prameha and Madhumeha along with treatment.

SHAREERAM
The word pancreas means pan-all, kreas-fresh. It is a both exocrine & endocrine gland. It lies
transversely across the exterior abdominal wall, behind the stomach, from duodenum to the
spleen at the level of L1 & L2 vetebra. It is J-shaped.
Measurements:-
Length 6-8inches Breadth – 1- ½”
Thickness – ½ - ¾” weight – 90gm
1. Diabets mellitus is a chronic disease due to disordered carbohydrate metabolism and it results
due to deficiency of insulin secreted by the Beta cells of islets of Langerhans of pancreas. But
hormones of pituitary and adrenal glands are also intimately related to the development of
disease state.
2. So the involvement of organs in Diabetes are
1) Pituitary gland 2) Pancreas 3) Adrenal gland 4) Liver
PANCREAS
The pancreas is a compound alveolargland. It has got both exocrine & endocrine
function. During development pancreas lies in the mesoduodenum following the rotation &
ultimate fixation of the gut the pancreas comes to lie against the posterior abdominal wall
behind peritoneum.
The adult pancreas consists of the Head, neck, body & tail. The whole organ is about
15cm long with right margin of the head is in contact with the descending part of the
duodenum & tail in contact with the spleen.
The head of the pancreas which is flattened from before backwards from an
irregularly shaped disc which is thicker than the remainder & lies within the C shaped
duodenal loop at the level of 2nd lumbar vertebrae.
The part of the head which extend to the left behind the superior mesenteric vessel is
known as uncinate Process. The constricted portion or neck connects the head & body of the
pancreas. The neck lies infront of the beginning of portal vein.

The body is at first flattened back soon becomes some prismatic in shape with
posteriosuperior and inferior surface and is continued into the tail which is in contact with
spleen.
Anteriorly the body of the pancreas in continued by peritoneum except along the live
of reflexion of mesocolon at the border separating the superior and inferior surfaces.
The superior surface of body and tail is covered by the peritoneum of posterior wall of
the lessersac and is related to the stomach.
The tip of the tail of pancreas is the only part of the whole organ to be completely
surrounded by peritoneum
The pancreas is deeply seated within the abdominal cavity. The normal pancreas is
not palpable.
Ducts of Pancreas
The exocrine secretion of pancreas are discharged into the duodenum through the
pancreatic duct. It commences at the tail of the organ by the union of small ducts in its course
towards the duodenum.
It receives numerous tributaries the ducts from lobules. The duct termination by
giving the bileduct at the hepatopancreatic ampulla.
Microscopic structure:-
The exocrine portion of pancreas consists of acini grouped into lobules. The exocrine
pancreas made up of isolated group of cells the islets of langerhans.
The terminal acini may be tubular in form or rounded.
The acini are lined with pyramidal epithelial cells which rest on a basement
membrane and project toward the lumen of the acinus.
The size of the lumen varies with the functional activities of the acini. During the
secretory pahse granules accumulate in the cells which enlarge and encroach on the lumen.
Several acini join on intercalated duct lined with cuboidal epithelium.
Endocrine portion (Islets of langerhans)
It is an endocrine organ which exert a profound effect on carbohydrate metabolism.

The exocrine cells of pancreas are aggregated into small discrete collection of cells of
which there are between one and 2 millions.
Scattered either between acini, between acini & ductules or in interlobular connective
tissue in all parts of pancreas. These cells groups are usually referred as the islets of
langerhans.
The islets are composed of aggregation of epithelial cells associated with capillary
blood vessels. A thin peripheral connective tissue capsule separates the cells from adjacent
exocrine tissue & fine connective tissue extends into the islets along blood vessels.
In endocrine portion 4 cells are present
1) cells
2)cells
3) cells
4) F cells
cells synthesise and secrete glucogon and cells produce insulin and D cells have
been linked with either gastrin or secretin production. F cells secretes pancreatic polypeptide
(PP)
The first harmone to be identified as a product of the islet was insulin. Subsequently
glucagon and gastrin have been identified.
The endocrine pancreas consists of 0.7 – 1 million small endocrine glands – islets of
langerhans – scattered within the glandular substance of the exocrine pancreas.
The islet volume comprises 1-1.5% of the total mass of the pancreas and weighs about
1-2g in adult humans.
F cells which secretes pancreatic polypeptide has been formed primarly in islets in the
posterior portion of the head a discrete lobe of the pancreas separated from the anterior
portion by a facial partition.
The posteriorlobe receives its blood supply from the superior mesenteric artery, the
remainder of the pancreas derives most of its blood flow from the celiac artery.

Islets in the posterior lobe area consists of 80-85% F cells 15-20% cells,lessthan
0.5% glucagon producing A cells.
The F cell volume varies with age and sex. The volume tends to be larger in men and
in older persons.
In contrast to the posterior lobe, the pp-poor islets located in the tail, arising from
embryonic dorsalbud, contain predominantly insulin secreting betacells with approximately
20% of the cells being glucagon secreting A cells and about 3-5% D cells that produce
somatostatin.
Islet Vascularisation:
The islets are richly vascularised, receiving 5-10 times the blood flow of a comparable
portion of exocrine pancreatic tissues.
The direction of the blood flow within the islet has been postulated to play a role in
carrying insulin secreted from the antral region of an islet to its peripheralzone – where the
insulin modulates and decreases glucagon release from A cells, which are mainly located on
the periphery of islets.

AGNI & ITS IMPORTANCE IN MADHUMEHA
The definition of Kayachikista itself is a treatment to agni but not a disease.
“Kayasya antaragne chikista kayachikista”
Normal state of agni gives health & abnormal state of agni itself is a factor for all Nija
Vyadhis, hence one should protect agni very carefully.
Ayurveda has given much importance to agni in the treatment of diseases, Ahara &
Bhesaja both should be advised based on agnibala of that person.
Aharapachana has been described in Avasthapaka indicating the stages through food
substances in the amasaya & Pakwasaya pass in the course of digestive process.1
(Digestion & Metabolism – Dwarakanath Page.53)
Avasthapaka is divided into two stages. Viz Prapaka has been defined by chakrapani
as Pradhamapaka2 (cha–chi 15/9). The term vipaka meaning is the change to which the food
has undergone. Pradhamaka is again subject to the influence of Jataragni.
Prapaka is mainly related with the food stuff where as vipaka relates to the action of
Jataragni on the drugs. Vipaka is three types: Madhura, Amla, Katu3 (A.H.Su 9/20)
The Prapaka commenses from the time of the food is introduced into Mouth. The
Pranavata main function has the aharagrahana and propels the food in to the Urdwa
amasaya.4 (cha-chi 15/6)
The tridoshas takes place in the digestion of food. If the digestion period is divided
into 3 parts, the first part is having the predominance of Kapha, the second part is
predominance with pitta, and in the third the vata. Therefore the digestion of food or
Aharapachana is divided into 3 stages.5 (A.Hri.Su.1/8)
Madhurabhava Avastha (1st Phase):-
Even though the ingested food contains the 6 Rasas, the first stage of Pachana is
Madhurapaka6 (Su.su–6/1.4) Just after ingestion of the food being digested in the amasaya
attains first the MadhuraRasa and then leads to the formation of Kapha, which is phenila in

appearance7 and the food that is propelled into amasaya mixes with drava.which is present
in this organ is doing bhinnasanghatam. 8(i.e the food is broken down and softened)
Role of Kledakakapha:-
Kledaka kapha is stated to be located in Amasaya. Its function is to moisterise food brought
to this site, disintegrates, breaks & liquefies9 (chakrapani on cha.su 20/8). Kledakakapha
protects the amasaya from being digested by the pitta which is also located there10
(A.H.Su.12/16).). It should be noted that the rasa of kapha is Madhura.11 (Su.su. 21/16).
Amlabhava avastha (2nd Stage):-
The partly digested food entering into adhoamasaya from urdwamasaya, enters into
the amlapaka with predominance of pitta. There will be abundant production of Achyapitta
in its immature stage is amla. 12(Cha.chi 15/9). The outcome of this phase of digestion is
the production of acidified change i.e. Pakwapakwa or kinchit Pakwa. 13(Digeston &
Metabolism in Ayu. C.Dwaraka nath)
The food in this stage is not yet fit for absorption & utilisation in metabolism
14(Chakrapani on cha.chi 15/10)
In this stage of digestion there will be two important events.
1. The Rasa of the end product of this stage is amla.
2. The end product of this stage is achyapitta.
Samanavata & Pachakapitta play an important role in this process.
Samanavata:-
The function of Samanavata quoted by Charaka as stimulation to agni to digestion of
food 15. After digestion is completed, helps in separation of Sara & Kitta. Sarangadhara
quoted the meaning of Samyak, as it will spread equally to all directions 16. (Sa.poo. 5th
Chapter)
According to Vagbhata, the Samanavata received the food into the annavahasrotas
(grihnati), Retains it till the digestion is completed (pachati), separates the sara from kitta

Pachakapitta:-
The Pachakapitta which digests the food is stated to be the Controller of remains
pittas. Their functions are depended upon the increase and decrease of Pachaka pitta 18
(cha.chi.15/39)
Susruta & Vagbhata quoted its location in the interior of amasaya and Pakwasaya.19
(Su.Su.21/10) Charaka mentioned these two asayas as kosta and here digestion takes place.
Both these asayas have in inner layer called Pittadharakala20. (A.Hrisa.3/50)Which
produces Pachakapitta which digests the ahara & separates it into Sarabhaga, Mutrabhaga &
Pureeshabhaga.
Pittadharakala:-
Located in the amasaya & Pakwasaya this part of annavahasrotas retains the food
upto its completely digestion, it is called Grahani. The function of this kala is to support the
Pachakapitta which is helpful for digestion of food. It aids in seperation of the Sara &
Kitta21. (Digestion & Metabolism –Dwarakanath)
Katuavastha (3rd Stage):-
The partial digested food then propelled from the adhoamasaya into the Pakwasaya
to complete its digestion. The digested food separated into Sara and Kitta. The annarasa is
absorbed from the Kudyas of Pakwasaya & Circulated through out the body by the
dhamanies 22 (cha.chi.15/36)
The fluid part of the Kitta is also absorbed, thereby rending it into a dry and light
mass, and pureesha in the Pakwasaya during this process is produced the vata which is katu
in nature 23 (cha.chi.15/11) .The Sahajakrimis which reside here will help in the production
of vata.
The fluid part of the kitta is absorbed by the kudyas of Pakwasaya, constitute the
mootra and is excreted through vasti. The Rasa of the pitta is katu. According to the third

end products of this stage is katurasa, and vata which is pungent in nature.

Chemistry of Insulin:- (Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics)
Insulin is a harmone secreted by the beta cells of this islets of Langerhans of
Pancreas & derives its name from the Laitn word ‘Insula’ which means an island. It was
extracted from the pancreas by Banting & Best in 1921 & was isolated in crystalline form
by Abel in 1930.
Insulin is a polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 6000, consisting of two
amino acid chains, A&B, linked by two disulphide bridges.
The Chains Contain 21 & 30 amino acids respectively, all in a known sequence. The
disulphide bridges are essential for its biological activity.

Insulin is soluble in water but undergoes molecular aggregation at extremities of PH
(3.2 & 10) such aggregation is further enhanced by the presence of zinc which brings about
crystallisation of insulin.
Transport, fate & excretion: -
In the blood insulin circulates in unbound form. The average plasma half life of
insulin is 6 minutes. So that it is mainly cleared from the circulation with in 10–15min.
except for that portion of insulin which is combined with the receptors of the target cells.
The remaining is mainly degraded by the enzyme insulinase in the liver and to a lesser
extent in the Kidneys.
Only traces of free insulin appear in the Urine. Insulin degradation is retarded in
chronic renal disease.
Factors influencing the insulin release:-

Dalhana mentioned that females are less prone to premeha or Madhumeha does not
occur in females as Rutasrava in every eliminates all the impurities & purifies all
dhatus. Author of yogaratnakara followed susruta’s version.
Samanya Nidana:-
The keyword in Samanyanidana of prameha is the hetu, which causes Kaphavridii
(kaphakriccha sarvam)8 Kapha is the maindosha involved in prameha and hence all those
hetu that cause Kaphavriddi automatically becomes the hetu for prameha9.
The Samanyanidana can again be classified as
a) Ahara Sambandha b) Vihara Sambandha
a) Ahara10:- Any ahara which is Madhura & lavanarasa pradhana, guru, Manda, Sheeta,
Snighdha, Slakshna, Sandra Stira, Madhuravipaka and Sheetaveerya, these effects
mainly effects the medas and Kleda leading to madhumeha due to Avarana.
b) Vihara11, 12:-
1) Atinidra: Aggravates Kapha and tamasa guna resulting in accumulation of medas
2) Asyasukha: Leading to Kaphavriddi.
3) Avyayam: Results in accumulation of medas & Kapha.
4) Alasyam: results in inactivity causing excessive nourishment. This mainly because
of Kapha and meda.
5) Samasodhana varjana: Causes medas and Kaphakshaya, accumulation of kapha and
medas.
Visesha Nidana:-
1) Kaphaja prameha Nidana: Are the same as explained in samanyanidana because
kapha is dosha visesha in prameha but it should be in bahudrava.
2) Pittaja prameha Nidana13:
Ahara:- ushanagunaahara atisevana, Arularasa, Lavanarasa, katurasa ahara atisevana,
vishamaaharasevana
Vihara:- Ati atapasevana, Atisantapa, Shrama, Krodha
3) Vatajaprameha nidana: The causes for aggravation of vata can be mainly grouped
into two categories
1) Margavarana14 2) Dhatukshaya15.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Nidana

The margavarana is a result of accumulation of kapha or pittadosha in the
vatavahasrotas due to respective Nidanasevana, this leads to vataja prameha.
In prameha, dhatukshaya is an invariable consequence of aparipakvata of dhatu. This
leads to aggravation of vata causing vatajaprameha.
Sahaja (Hereditary):- Susrutha mentioned the sahaja word showing genetic predisposition
in the pathophysiology of the disease Madhumeha16. charaka while describing the
prognosis of Madhumeha clearly noted that this is kulajavikara resulting due to defect
in the beeja.
Chakrapani opines that it can cause by Father, Mother or Grandparents, it means the
disease inherited from generation to generation.
Charaka narrated that sahaja type of diseases can occur due to defect in beeja,
beejabhaga or beejabhaga avayava. We can correlate beeja to ovum and sperm,
beejabaga to chromosomes & beejabhaga avayava to genetic coding. Charaka
narrated that indulgence of madhurarasa by mother at time of pregnancy causes
madhumeha & stoulya17.

AETIOLOGY
Genetics18,19,20:- The mechanism of inheritance of DM either insulindependant or
noninsulindependent is unclear.
Genetic Susceptibility of IDDM:- This probably involves more than onegene. Candidate
loci have been proposed on chromosomes 2, 6, 11 & 15 though primary geneticsite in
humans is believed to be located in the major histocompatability locous on the
shortarm of the 6th chromosome.
While definite associations exists between class I alleles & type I DM, the D locus is
considered of primary importance encoded by the major histocompatibility complex
(MHC) found to be closely associated with IDDM
Genetic Susceptibity in NIDDM:- Modes of inheritance of NIDDM in variant called
matarityomet DM of the young (MODY) have been more or less conclusive than the
other forms
The concordance rate for DM in monozygotictwins with type 2 disease may be as
high as 80% risk of offspring and siblings of patients with NIDDM are higher than in
type I DM.
Autoimmurity:- The autoimmune destruction of the B cells may be best explained by the
existence of B cell specific protein that for unknown reasons acquires autoantigenic
properties and eventually becomes target for autotimmune reaction.
Heredity:- The mechanism of inheritance of IDDM is unclear. The chance of a child
developing type-1 DM when another first degree relative has the disease is only 5-
10%. HLA identity in a sibling increases the risk.
The presence of NIDDM in a parent increases the risk for IDDM in the offspring
The risk of type I DM is upto 5 times higher when the father has the disease than
when the mother is a diabetic
Environmental Factors:
Viralinfection:- Preceding episodes of infections of Mumps, hepatitis, infectious
mononucleosis and coxsackie virus. Support for viral theory comes from the
observation, that about 1/5th of individuals with congenital rubella develop DM.
Bovine albumin:- It has been suggested that exposure to cow’s milk or milk products early
in life predisposes to autoimmune DM
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Nidana
9
Obesity:- Type 2 DM is almost nonexistent in individuals with a body manindex (BMI)
below 22kg/m2 and increased risk of DM with obesity has a strong familial tendency.
Lifestyle:- Epidemiological studies of type 2DM provide evidence that overeating, especially
when combined with obesity & underactivity associated with type 2 DM.
Malnutrition:- It is proposed that malnutrition in utero and in infancy may damage Beta cell
development and causes type 2 DM at a laterstage.
Chemicals:- Alloxan, Glyoxal streptozotocin, Asparyinone, Pentamidine esthionate.

Pre-diabetic States2
Sometimes a patient with abnormal hyperglycemia may not have full clinical symptoms of
diabetes mellitus and often pre-diabetic states are asymptomatic. Mildsymptoms if
manifested go unrecognized but the identification of such stages can go a longway in
prevention of an overt disease.
The British diabetic association has suggested a classification that is accepted by
WHO expert committee on diabetes. They are as follows:
Potential DiabetesThese are persons who have high probability of developing diabetes. They do not
show any evidence of impaired glucose tolerance. They include.
1) Identical twin of diabetic
2) Persons with both the parents are diabetic
3) Persons with one parent diabetic, the other non-diabetic parent having a diabetic
parent or a diabetic sibling.
Latent Diabetes:a) Persons with normal G.T.T. at present but had an abnormal G.T.T. sometime in the
past viz, during pregnancy, infection when under stress or when obese.
b) Persons with a normal G.T.T. understand conditions but an abnormal one with
provocative tests.
Asymptomatic Diabetes:This stage is variously known as clinical, sub clinical diabetes. They always show an
abnormal G.T.T. but the fasting blood levels may be normal in the early stage. Later on, even
these levels may be raised.

ROOPA
Roopa of a disease will be produced in the fifth stage of samprapti i.e., Vyaktavasta. Laxana
of Madhumeha mainly grouped under two categories i.e.,
A) Samanyalakshanas:
1) Prabhootamootrata: This is the cordinal sign described by all acharyas. Vagbhata
mentioned prameha as the disease of mutratipravritaja vikara. Patient voids urine more in
quantity and frequency1 . Gayadas opines that this excess urine quantity is because of
liquification of the dushyas and their amalgamation2.
2) Avilamootrata: Patient voids urine having turbidity.
B) Vishistalaxanas3:
1) Madhurata – This is entirely due to Apakva ojus.
2) Rooksha – Rookshaguna is due to vata
3) Pandu – The urine would have lost its normal varna as a result of abnormally
increased shareerakleda.
4) Kashaya – It is a terminal manifestation of DM.
5) Madhusamamootra – Varna, Gandha, Rassa of mootra will be similar to that of
Madhu. It is due to ojonisraana in mootra.

Clinical Features8
The manifestation of symptomatic Diabetes mellitus vary from patient to patient.
Most often, Symptoms are due to hyperglycemia (polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia)
but the first event may be on acute metabolic decompensation resulting in diabetic
coma.
Typically, the clinical features of IDDM and NIDDM are distinctive
Insulin Dependent Diabetes:
IDDM usually begins before age 40. Some patients develop type 1 diabetes late in life
with a fist episode of ketoacidosis occurring at age of 50 or even later in rare
instances.
Onset of symptoms may be abrupt, with thirst, excessive urination, increased appetite
and weightloss developing over several days.
In some cases, the disease is heralded by the appearance of ketoacidosis during an
intercurrent illness or following surgery
As outlined in type 1 patient may have normal weight or may be wasted, depending
on the length of time between onset of symptoms and start of treatment
characteristically, the plasma insulinlevel is low or immeasurable.
Once symptoms develop, insulin therapy is required.
Noninsulin Dependent Diabetes:
NIDDM usually begins in middle life or later. The typical patient is overweight.
Symptoms begin gradually and the diagnosis is made frequently when an
asymptomatic person is found to have an elevated plasmaglucoselevel.
In contrast to IDDM, plasma insulinlevels are normal to high in absoluteterms,
although they are lower than predicted for the level of the plasma glucose stated in
another way, if plasma glucose concentrations in nondiabetic subjects were raised to
levels equivalent to those found in NIDDM patients, insulin values would be higher in
the normal group. This relative deficiency reflects the previously mentioned insulin
secretory defect in NIDDM.
For unknown reasons, patients with NIDDM do not develop ketoacidosis but are
susceptible to development of hyperosmolar, nonketotic coma.

Symptoms:
1) Excessive appetite and polyphagia8
Excessive hunger is due to inability of the tissue to use glucose and loss of fuel in the
urine.
2) Loss of Weight:
Loss of weight in the diabetic may be attributed to the mobilization of fat stores and
breakdown of protein. In addition there may be considerable calorie loss in the urine.
3) Fatigue – Fatigue is due to inefficient utilization of glucose or electrolyte losses prone
to muscular weakness which is the basis of fatigue.
4) Thirst and polyuria – due to loss of water from osmotic diuresis
5) Pruritis Valvae: it is a symptom in 2/3 or all women who develop diabetes
Glucose favours the development of the mycosis and that glycosuria is the underlying
cause.
6) Balanitis
7) Myopia
8) Drymouth
9) Nocturia
10) Wasting
11) Abnormalities of taste
12) White marks on clothing
13) Impotence
14) Amenorrhoea
15) Infection – especially in the skin or failure of wounds to heal

asadhya.
2) Apathyanimittaja: This is due to indulgence in Apathyakara ahara and vihara. This

Samprapti
1
SAMPRAPTI
Samprapti is a process by which dosha dushyasamsarga will takes place and finally
manifests the disease. It includes the vaishamya of dosha, dushya, agni, srotas.
According to susruta, too much indulgence in the eliological factors relate to prameha
results into aparipakva vata, pitta, kapha and meda, which further proceed through
the mutravahasrotas to get localized in the vastimukha this leading to disease prameha
Vagbhata described two types of pathogenisis of Madhumeha i.e dhatuhkshayajanya
and doshavaranajanya3
Charaka has explained the samprapti in detailed manner it may be explained on the
basis of shatkriyakalas. The samanya samprapti process commences from the
nidanasevana
1) Sanchaya – the excessive indulgence in nidanasevana of guru, snigdhaahara and
avyayamadivihara leads to kaphadoshasanchaya having the quality of bahudravatha,
sanchayam occurs.
2) Prakopa – the bahudravatva kapha is prone to develop madhumeha and it is already
presnt in excess quantity from the beginning hence it gets aggravated rapidly when
the anukulanidana in there
3) Prasara – In this stage, the provoked Kapha gets spread all over the body owing to
sharirshaithilya. sharirashaithilya being one of the anukula factors for the nidana
towards dosha.
4) Sthanasamshraya – vikrita kapha has affinity towards bahu abadda meda due to their
similar properties and gets lodged there. Vikrita kapha after combining with
bahuabaddameda causes its vitiation. The other important dushyas are sharirakleda
and mamsa which are already increased in quantity prior to vitiation of kapha. The
provoked kapha with vitiated meda gets combined with sharirakleda or mamsa or
both. This is an important stage because the prodromal symptoms of the disease are
manifested in this stage.
5) vyakta – In this stage, two types of manifestation will occur
1) putimamsa pidaka due to mamsadhatu vitiation. 2) Mutravaha srotodusti due to
sharerakledadusti.

Samprapti

6) Bheda – In this stage various complications of the disease manifest and the disease
progress towards asadhya
Sampraptighataka of madhumeha:
Dosha : Sleshma pradhana tridosha sleshma is the main dosha responsible for Madhumeha
inspite of the fact that madhumeha is a tridoshajanyavyadhi. The other doshas like vata&
pitta only trigger off this samprapti and associate as anubandha.
Dushya : Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Majja, Sukra Vasa, lasika, ojus, kleda and according
to vagbhata, sweda
Srotodusti : The srotodusti laxana occur as sanga of kapha leading to vimargagamana and
atipravritti of kleda through the mootra.
Agni : Vaishamya of all agnis (or dhatvagnimandya)
Ama : Medogata ama produced due to jataragni mandhya and dhatvagnimadhya.
Adhistana : vasti
Udbhavasthana : Amasaya
Bhedavastha : Occurance of upadravas such as puti mamsa,pidaka etc.
Nature : chirakari, anusangi5
Dosha - All the three doshas are responsible for manifestation of madhumeha.
1) Kapha: It plays a dominant role in the samanya samprapti of madhumeha. It is the
first dosha to get vitiated . Acharya charaka while describing the causative factors
used the term kaphakriccha sarvam in it. It indicates the significance of this
doshadusti in prameha
2) Pitta: Here in avaranajanya madhumeha mainly the symptoms manifest because of
vriddi of pittadosha6. Pitta is in Kshaya avastha as compared to vata in vatajaprameha
samprapti .so Kshayalakshana of kapha and pittadosha may manifest in kshayajanya
madhumeha.7
3) Vata : This is the primedosha in the pathogenesis of madhumeha. Here vata gets
vitiated either because of its own etiological factors or because of avarana caused by
kapha, pitta and meda. This provoked vata carries vasa, majja, ojus towards vasti and
excretes them outside through urine resulting in depletion of dhatus, thus due to
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Samprapti
3
severe depletion of dhatus, the symptoms manifest are karshya, dourbalya,
angasuptata, parisaranashila nature.
In susrutha samhita it is described that vyana and apana are the main culprits in prameha
thus in all the samprapti of prameha vyana acts as gatherer of kleda and apana as excretor.
The function of apanavayu gets aggravated resulting excretion of vital dhatus through the
urine outside the body8
B) Dushya:-
1) Rasa: Rasa is the seat of kapha and at the sometime it is the mala of rasadhatu. The
symptoms like alasya, gurutwa, karshya, klaibya etc. are produced as a result of
rasadusti.
2) Rakta: It mainly gets aggravated in pittajaprameha. The raktadusti laxanas are daha
visarpa, pidaka, dadru are produced as a result of Raktadusti9.
3) Mamsa: Mamsa and Kapha are having the same qualities. when kapha gets vitiated
mamsa looses its normal consistancy and develops shaithilya and provides space in
between for the accretion of morbid matter. This consequently result into
putimamsapidaka “ mamsaleshu avakasheshu “10
4) Meda: It is the dominant doosya in all types of prameha. kapha and meda have
close resemblance as they have same qualities.
In Madhumeha vitiation of medas results in two ways.
Abadhtha (asamhata) (qualitative) :- Normal function of medas is to produce
unctuousness in the body along with dridatva. so this abadhatva causes derangement
in the structure of meda produing shaithilya in the body.
Bahu (Qualitative) – Here in the pathogenesis meda is in excess quantity. This
medodhatu is aparipakva (ama)11
5) Majja: Due to vataprakopa kshaya of majjadhatu occurs. Thus vitiated majja
produced symptoms like netragaurava, angagaurava in madhumeha
6) Sukra: Sukradhatu gets affected in the pathogenesis of prameha, which is due to its
vitiation produces symptoms like dourbalya & kricchavyavayata. vata causes
depletion of shukra dhatu and also sukrameha.
7) Vasa: It is an upadhatu of mamsa and is sleshmika in character. The provoked vata
draws vasa towards vasti and exerts it through urine in the form of sneha.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Samprapti
4
8) Lasika : The aggravated vata proples lasika towards the vasti and then excretes it
through urine leading to increased micutition. Lasika is described as a dushya in
hastimeha.
9) Ojus: ojus is an important dusya in the samprapti of madhumeha. Here aggravated
vata transform the madhuratwa of ojus into kashayatwa and carries ojus towards vasti
and excretes through unine leading to ojokshaya
10) Kleda: it is also an important dusya after medas. In the samprapt,i kledadusti is in the
form of vriddi and not the kshaya. Hence bahukleda is manifest as prabhuta mutrata
and avilamutrata13 .

Pathogenesis of IDDM:14
Pathogenesis begins with genetic susceptibility to disease, with the destruction of islet
Beta cells of pancreas almost due to autoimmune process.
viralinfetion is a triggering factor but noninfectious agents may also be involved.
Autoimmune attack then follows.
The islet betacells become infiltrated by macrophages and activated cytotoxic T cells.
The infiltration usually called insulitis. Multiple antibodies against beta cells antigens
are present in the blood.
An autoimmune DM can develop in the absence of an environmental trigger i.e can be
purely genetic. Usually however the pathogenetic sequence is
Genetic predisposition
Environmental insult
Autoimmune destruction of Betacells
Diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
Destruction of Beta cells and development of IDDM:
The loss of insulin reserve occurs over a few to many years .The earliest sign of
abnormality is the development of islet cell antibodies when the bloodsugar and
glucose tolerance are normal and when insulin rensponses to glucose load are intact.
Continued destruction of betacells then leads to insulin dependantstage and
propensity of ketoacidosis
The immunedirected destruction of beta cells probably involves both humoral & cell
mediated mechanisms. Betacells have a lowcapacity for freeradical destruction and are
especially vulnerable to oxygen toxicity.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Samprapti

Pathogenesis of NIDDM:–
NIDDM is more common than IDDM. Its pathogenesis is less well understood. The
relation between the betacells abnormality and insulin resistance is not resolved. The
major environmental factor is obesity.
Both betacell defects and insulin resistances are present in the overt disease, which
more commonly exhibits familial aggregation, patients with type2DM have two
psychological defects Viz. abnormal insulin secretion and resistance to insulin action
in target tissues.
Insulin secretory defect and insulin resistance are both required for DM to be
expressed since massively obese person with marked insulin resistance may have
normal glucose tolerance. Presumably the Betacell lesion is not present in such
persons. This fact suggests that the primary defect resides in the insulin producing
cells.
Betacell mass is intact in type NIDDM in contrast with the situation in TypeI IDDM.
The alfa cell population is increased resulting in an elevated ratio of a Alfa to Beta
cells and an excess of glucagon relative to insulin that characterizes all hyperglycemic
states including NIDDM

UPADRAVAS&
ARISHTALAKSHNASAccording to vagbhata all pramehas if not properly treated ultimately develop into
Madhumeha. Therefore it is to be understood that the upadaravas of pramehas are also the

UPADRAVAS
1) Trishna8 -due to excessive loss of kleda through mootra. pitta with its ushnaguna is
the maindosha here9.
2) Atisara - The longstanding vitiation of vata affects its sthana that is pakwasaya which
inturn causes atisara.
3) Paridhupana/daha - Manifest in kara and pada or sarvanga It is a pittaja nanatmaja

Complications of Diabetes mellitus
The complications of Diabetes mellitus can be acute or chronic. Acute complications are the
medical emergency and need immediate medical management, other wise the patient may go
into coma and ultimately death may occur among the acute complications, hypoglycemia is
the most serious one.
They can be classified as follows:
I) Acute metabolic complications:
i) Diabetic ketoacidosis
ii) Hyperosmolar coma
ii) Hypoglycemia
II) Chronic complications:
A) Angiopathic complications
i) Microangiopathic – Retinopathy, cataract, glaucoma, Nephropathy,
neuropathy
ii) Macroangiopathic - coronary arterydisease, cerebrovascular disease
B) Infections: Skin infections, pulmonary koch’s, urinary tract infections,
vaginal candidiasis, gangrene of feet etc.
Others – Gastroparesis, diarrhoea, sexual dysfunction.
Diabetic neuropathy occurs in approximately 50% of individuals with longstanding
type-1 and Type-2 DM.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy presents with distal sensoryloss, hyperesthesia,
paresthesia & pain also occurs.
Diabetics have increased susceptibility to various infections such as tuberculosis,
pneumonia, pyelonephritis, carbuncles and diabeticulcers.
Diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA):-
DKA accounted for over40 percent of diabeticdeaths in the preinsulin era. A number
of patients are already ketotic when diagnosed. Skipping injections of insulin is an
Important antecedent.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
7
The clinicalpicture of DKA gradually develops over a period of 18hours to 3days.
There is a marked increase in polyuria,thirst,weakness and painful musclecramps
Rapid deep and kussumal breathing is evident with increase in acidosis. Lethargy and
drowsiness are followed by clouding of conciousness and confusionalstate
Diabetic retinopathy:-
Retinopathy is one of the major riskfactors of DM. The incidence of blindness or poor
vision is 20times more common in diabetic than in nondiabetics
Visual symptoms do not appear until late in the course of retinopathy.Excess of
exudates,oedema or ischemia affecting the maculararea is a common cause of
visualloss in NIDDM
Preproliferative retinopathy is more common in IDDM. This stage is heralded by the
appearance of multiple cottonwool patches resulting from microinfarcts.
Diabetic nephropathy:-
DN is a specific form of renaldisease. A major cause of death ,disability among
diabetics,it accounts for 25-40percent of all cases with end stage renalfailure(ESRF)
Symptoms arise late in the course of nephropathy. Heavy proteinuria leads to
oedema,hypoalbuminaemia and hypertension seen in 15-25percent.
Diabetic neuropathy:-
Peripheral neuropathy is the commonest among longterm complications ofdiabetes.
Paraesthesia such as tingling,burning,numbness,coldareas,aches and pains may be the
presenting symptoms of around 30 percent of patients

SADHYA SADHYATA&
SAPEKSHA NIDANA
Acharyas mentioned prognosis of prameha according to dosha.
1) Kaphajaprameha – Sadhya – due to Samakriya
2) Pittajaprameha – yapya – due to vishamakriya
3) vatajaprameha – Asadhya – due to virudhopakramata
Prameha with tulyadhushyata was mentioned as sukhasadhya i.e., easily curable
The four types of vataja pramehas are incurable owing to their great atyayikata
(emergency) and the autogonism involved in the treatment
According to Vagbhata kaphaja prameha has if not treated gradually convert into
pittaijaprameha and the both of may transform into vatajaprameha3
1) Sadhya / Yapya Vatajamehas 4
i) vatajamehas associated with either kapha or pitta
ii) vatajameha. Due to gradual and secondary aggravation
2) Kastasadhya – Doshavrutajanya 5Ch.Chi 6/13)
3) Asadhya
i) Dhatukshayajanya 6
ii) Kulaja – Madhumeha due to beejadosha
iii)vatajameha / Madhumeha
iv) Madhumeha with all poorvaroopas from earlystage.
v) Madhumeha as a complication of other mehas that are untreated.
vi) vatajameha / Madhumeha in which urine is syava and aruna varna
If the disease is developed due to vitiation of one dosha and the duration is less than
one year, the disease is curable. If two doshas are involved, the disease can be

controlled. If 3 or moredoshas are involved and associated with any group of
complications is considered incurable.
According to susruta and vagbhata, madhumeha is itself a complication and it is a fact
that madhumeha is a sannipata disease.

CHIKITSA&
PATHYAAPATHYAKRAMA
In general chikitsa is the method adopted for eradication of the disease from the body.
The aim of treatment is to restore swasthya. That means to normal functions of agni,
dhatu, mala and maintain mental health. The primary importance of chikista lies in
samprapti vighatana.
General schedule of treatment of Prameha according to Dosha:-
Dosha Name of the Therapy
Kaphaja Prameha Samsodhana, lekhana, langhana,
Apatarpana
Pittaja Prameha Virechana, Santarpana, Samsamana
Vataja prameha 1. If associated with Kapha, taila
prepared from decoction of
kaphaja pramehahara drugs
should be given
2. If associated with pitta ghrita
prepared from decoction of
pittaja pramehahara drugs
should be given.
Charaka classified patients of prameha into two categories for treatment purpose.1(cha.chi. 6/15 – 17& 18)
1. Stula – Samsodhana therapy was prescribed.
2. Krisha – Brumhana & Samsamana therapy was prescribed.
.
While classifying the drugs susruta has given the following groups as useful in prameha2(su.sutra 38 & 71,72,73)

2. Salasaradigana
3. Mushakadigana
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
4. Triphala
5. Trikatu
6. Trapvadigana
Since the pramehas are caused mainly because of the vitiation of Kaphadosha and the
corruption of the medodhatu, the following groups of drugs which are stated to restore the
normalcy of kapha and medas, may be used.
1. Salasaradigana
2. Varunadigana
3. Lodhradigana
4. Ushakadigana

After the sodhanakarma is completed the patient is to be subjected to santrapanakriya,
although the prameha is a santarpanajanya roga, the patient should not be subjected
to apatarpanakriya,because it may result in gulma,kshaya,suppression of urine.. The
santarpanakriya should be carried out considering the strength of the agnibala.4(cha.chi.6/15)
A krisha or emaciated patient who is not capable of with standing the purificatory
procedures requires Brimhana kriya 5(cha.chi 6/15)
The following oils may be used for snehakarma for a stula
prameha.

created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Importance of Apatarpana:-
Because of involvement of bahu and abadda mamsa & medas and dravarupa sleshma,
apatarpana therapy was preferred.
Importance of internal administration of oil in vatajameha:-

dosha for the treatment of vataja mehas (cha.chi. 6/35)
2. According to Astanga Hridaya chikitsa8, 12/9–10 “Vatolbaneshu snehamscha

TREATMENT 9
A) Goals of treatment of Diabetes:-
Diabetes mellitus requires on going medical care as well as patient & family
education both to prevent acute illness and to reduce the risk of long-term complications. The
therapeutic objective is to restore known metabolic derangements towards normal in order to
prevent and delay progression of diabetic complications. The aims of treatment have been
varied according to an arbitrary division of patients into three categories ranging from those
in whom symptomatic relief done seems the most appropriate or any attainable goal to those
in whom an attempt at maximal prophylaxis against future tissue damage seems desirable &
possible.
B) Treatment regimens:-
i) Diet:- A well balanced nutritious diet remains a fundamental element of therapy. In
obese patient with mild hyperglycemia the major goal of diet therapy in weight reduction by
caloric restriction.
1. Intake of protein and carbohydrate according to the recommendation of American
Diabetic Association.
2. Dietary fibres:- Food such as oatmeal, cereals and beans with relatively high soluble
fibre content as staple component of the diet in Diabetes. These tend to retard nutrient
absorption rates so that glucose absorption is slower and hyperglycemia may be
slightly diminished. High soulbe fibre content in the diet may also have favourable
effect on blood cholesterol levels.
3. Artificial sweetners:- Diabetes can use artificial sweetners like aspartame, sucralose,
acesulfame.
ii) Oral anti diabetic agents:- Oral drugs are used to lower blood
glucose level by achieving following goals.
1. Drugs that primarily stimulate insulin secretion.
2. Drugs that after insulin action.
3. Drugs that principally affect absorption of glucose.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
a) Sulfonylureas:-
Mode of Action:- Stimulate production of insulin by increasing number of insulin
receptors.
Indication:-
1. Maturity onset diabetes of average weight not controlled by diet.
2. Diabetes or normal weight stabilized on insulin dosage not more than 30 units per day
who have never been ketotic.
3. Failure to lose weight when this is indicated.
Contra indication:-

1. Hypoglycemia
2. Dyspepsia
3. Skin rash
4. Facial flushing after ingestion of alcohol mostly ( chlorpropramide)
5. Cholestatic jaundice (chlorpropramide)
6. Blood dyscriasis
Drug interactions with Sulfonylureas:-
a) Increased hypoglycemic action:- –blockers, Sulphonamides
Phenyl butazone, chloramphenicol, Cyclophospamide.
b) Decreased hypoglycemic action:- Adrenergic compounds,
Corticosteriods, oestrogen containing oral contraceptives, thiazide
Diuretics, Phenytoin.
Biguanides:-
Mode of action:- Major effect is to increase peripheral uptake of glucose and in large doses
to delay or decrease intertinal absorption. Biguanides do not cause hypoglycemia.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Indication:-
1. Treatment of Maturity onset, diabetic who failed to lose weight on diet.
2. In Combination with Sulfonylureas – To enhance the inadequate or failing effects of

unpredictably, one who is prone to ketosis and who develops hypoglycemia with only
slight overdose of insulin.
Adverse effects:-
1. Malaise, weakness, Drowsiness
2. Metallic taste in mouth, Anorexia, Nausea, dyspepsia, Diarrhoea
3. Lacticacidosis
iii) Insulin:-
Insulin is indicated for Type –1 diabetic as well as for Type–2 diabetic patients whose
hypoglycemia does not respond to diet therapy either alone or combined with oral
hypoglycemia drugs. Insulin injections are very much necessary in severe condition of
Hyperglycemia.
There are various preparations are present depending upon their purity, solubility &
species like( Human / Bovine)
Four Principle types of Insulins are available:-

DRUG REVIEW
Drug plays a vital role in the management of the disease.Due to this reason, it had been
placed next to physician in the chatuspada.It has been well said by charaka is ‘a drug i.e
understood perfectly is comparable to poison,weapon, fire and thunderbolt’. While the
perfectly understood drug is comparable to ambrosia.
The best drug is that which cures the disease promptly and also preserves or
sustains the helath of an individual.
The drug selected for present clinical study on prameha is “SOMARAJYADI
CHURNAM”.
SOMARAJYADI CHURNAM:-
Somrajyadi churnam is anubhutayoga to prove its scientific efficacy. I selected
this yoga for trail.
It contains 4 ingredients. They are BAKUCHI,(Psoralea corylifolea)
AVARTHAKI,(Cassia auriculata) MADHUNASHINI, (Gymnema
sylvestris)SUNTI(Zingiber officinale). Most of the drug have tikta,
kashayarasa,laghu , rooksha guna, katuvipaka.These are said to be kaphagna,
mehagna, medogna.
Tikta, kashayarasa, laghu, rookshaguna produces rookshana effect and they are
having opposite qualities to that kapha and medas. Hence they act as mehagna and
kaphagna. When medas is reduced then the pressure on vapavahana is also
reduced as it is the moolastana of medovahasrotas.
Bahudravatva is present in madhumeha. Tikta, kashayarasa produces shoshana
effect and there by bahudravatva is reduced.When bahudravata reaching vasti
reduces then prabhootamootrata, pratyatmalaxana of prameha also reduces.Pipasa
which is depended on prabhootamootrata also reduces and there by somarajyadi
churnam checks the pathogenesis of madhumeha.

DISCUSSION
Madhumeha is a widely evidential disease since ancient age till today and evidence is
increasing day by day with lips and bounce with their complications and complexes. Diabetes
mellitus is similar to Madhumeha which is subtype of Vataja Prameha.
Madhumeha is a disease in which the patient voids excessive quantity of urine having
concordance with Madhu i.e., of Kashaya and Madhura taste, Ruksha texture and honey like
color. In Madhumeha, mainly the Vata and Kapha are predominant though the disease is
Tridoshakopanimittaja. The Vata may be provoked either directly by its etiological factors or
by the Avarana of its path by Kapha, Pitta or other Dushyas. So, Vagbhata has classified the
Madhumeha into two categories i.e., Dhatuapakarshanajanya Madhumeha and Avarnajaya
Madhumeha. Avaranajanya pathogenesis occurs due to etiological factors mainly concordant
with Kapha and Pitta, but the vitiation of Vata occurs due to Avarana.
Dhatuapakarshanajanya pathology occurs due to depletion of Dhatus, because of the Vata
vitiating etiological factors. Acharya Charaka has classified Madhumeha into
Santarpanajanya and Apatarpanajanya. The Apatarpanajanya Madhumeha can be correlated
with Dhatuapakarshanajanya Madhumeha, while the Santarpanajanya Madhumeha correlates
with Avarnajanya Madhuemeha. Therefore, this disease may be caused both by the under
nutrition as well as by over nutrition. The first type of madhumeha is considered to be
Asadhya and no specific remedy is recommended for this. But the later type has been told as
Krichhra Sadhya and can be cured with extensive measurements.
The main pathophysiology behind Diabetes mellitus is the disturbed metabolism of
the carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to either absolute or relative lack of Insulin. The
Diabetes mellitus has been broadly classified as type 1 and type 2. The type 1 Diabetes
mellitus patients are usually asthenic in body constitution and suffer from it in the early years
of life, while the type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients are usually obese and suffer from it in their
40’s. The type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients can be managed easily by hypoglycemic drugs
whereas in type 1 Diabetes mellitus patients besides hypoglycemic drugs, the Insulin therapy
is obscure. So the type 1 diabetes mellitus is nearer to Dhatuapakarshanajanya Madhumeha
while the type 2 Diabetes mellitus resembles to Avaranajanya Madhumeha.
Prameha such a disease caused predominance by vatadosha though all the 3 doshas
also take part besides ten dooshyas i.e., Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medo, Majja, sukra,
ojus, Lasika, Vasa, Kleda in resulting the disease.

While deciding the inclusion criteria, the terms stula and krisha Madhumeha have
been used in a much broader sense than to mean only abnormal states conveyed by
them. Krusha covers the patient who were normal to under weight. The word stula
covers the patients from normal to obese.
Somarajyadi churnam is anubhoota yoga. This preparation contains 4 drugs. They are
Bakuchi, Madhunashini, Avarthaki, Sunti. These drugs possess hypoglycemic,
neuroprotective, Medogna, Mootra Sangrahaneeyae, Rasayana, Deepana and pachana
properties.
Patients who attended O.P and I.P sections of Dr. BRKR, Govt Ayurvedic hospital
Hyd were selected randomly, irrespective of the sexes, fulfilling all the criteria for
inclusion and exclusion.
The range of Fasting and post prandial blood sugar was fixed between 120mg/dl –
180mg/dl and 160mg/dl to 300mg/dl respectively considering the safe limits of the
disease. This was done to avoid putting the patients into the risk of developing
complications as in the case of higher sugar levels.
Pre and post test design was planned and the patients were asked to take 6gms of
somarajyadi churnam half an hour before food twice daily. All the drugs are dried and
fine powedered.
The pratyatma lakshana of Madhumeha including Tanumadhuryata and
mutramadhuryata along with other common symptoms were taken for assessment.
This included the WHO approved American Diabetic association diagnostic criteria.
The symptoms were graded and scored.
Maximum number of patients belonged to the age group of 51-60 years Which
supports the views that the prevalence of type 2 DM is more in the middle to old age.
Males are more in the clinical study compared to females. Hindus were 77% which
indicative of demographic situation of this region. More number of patients was from
middle to upper middle class. This finding reflects the pattern of patients coming to
the hospital of this institute according to their socioeconomic conditions. The
incidence was also more in people who were involved in professions Who did not
involve much physical work like businessmen, shop owners and so on.
Observation of addition in the present study revealed that maximum number of
patients i.e., 40% were addicted to smoking, 10% patients were addicted to alcohol,

tobacco chewing 12.5%, tea / Coffee 38.5%. All of these conditions decreased the
natural immunity and also provoke the vata to manifest the disease prameha earlier
and with severity majority of the patients i.e., 55% were suffering from the disease for
1-10 years. 45% of the patients confirmed the family history of Madhumeha which
reflects the fact that a familial trait is associated with the disease. Majority of the
patients are vatakaphaprakruti. Majority of the patients were of Madhyama to avarsara
which indicates the involvement of dhatus in Madhumeha.
On treatment with Somarajyadi churnam, the following results were observed on the
subjective symptoms.
1. Effect on Prabhootamootrata: Mild to severe prabhoota mootrata (both in terms of
quantity and frequency) was seen in 80% of patients, 65% relief was observed in
prabhutamutrata. This relief in prabhutamootrata may be due to the mutrasangrahani
action of Avarthaki and kashaya Rasa Rookshguna of Madhunashini, avarthaki which
exerts stambhana action. It may be possible that drug has acted upon apanavayu and
corrected its vitiation.
2. Effect on Avilamootrata: Only in 15% of patients avilamootrata is noted, relief was
10%.
3. Effect on Trushna: Mild to severe Trushna was seen in 70% of patients and mild to
maximum improvement was seen in 50% of patients. The relief in trushna may be
because of kaphapitta samaka effect of Avarthaki, Bakuchi and stambhana action of
avarthaki and also due to Trishnanigrahana action of sunti.
4. Effect on Stoulya: 25% patients were obese 40% of patients were over weight for
their age and height. The rest has normal weight. 25% of weight reduction is seen.
This is due to tiktarasa, kashaya rasa katu vipaka and laghu, rooksha guna and they
are having opposite qualities to that of kapha and medas . Almost 60% of the patients
had an adipose abdomen, which corroborates the fact that Indians have inherited
condition called central obesity (i.e., for a given body mass index, Indians have a
higher amount of fact than other races). There have been strong evidences implicating
this condition for the development of DM. .
5. Effect on Sweda adhikhya: Atisweda was seen in 30% of patients and 25% of
improvement was observed .vitiation of pittadosha causes swedaatipravritti. This

action may be due to kashaya Rasa and stambana of avarthaki Madhunashini might
have checked the excessive sweating.
6. Effect on Dourbalya: Mild to severe Dourbalya was seen on 83% of patients,
improvement was seen in 60% of patients. Rasayana and anti oxidant properties of
Bakuchi, prevent dhatu depletion. The pramehagna properties of the ingriedients of
somarajyadi Churnam may facilitate the entry of glucose inside the cell for utilization,
thus providing energy to the cells and the patient gets relief in Dourbalya.
7. Effect on Karapadadaha: Mild to serve Karapadadaha was seen in 62% of the le
patients and mild to moderate improvement was seen in 50% of the patients relief in
Karapadadaha may be due to Kaphapitta samaka action of avarthaki, Bakuchi and
seetaveerya action of Avarthaki.
8. Effect on Karapadasuptata: 50% of the patients has mild to severe. Karapadasuptata
and mild to maximum improvement was seen in 80% of them. This may be due to
antidiabetic action of Bakuchi, Avarthaki, Madhunashini provided the relief in
Karapadasuptata.
9. Effect on Bahvashi: Mild to moderate Bahvashita was seen in 75% of the patients
16% improvement was observed. This is due to Kaphapitta samaka action of Bakuchi,
Avarthaki. This may be the reason for the relief in atikshudha.
10. Effect on Muscle cramps:Mild to moderate muscle cramps was seen in 85%
of the patients 35% improvement was observed. This is due to vatahara action of
Bakuchi and sunti.
The following were the changes observed the objective symptoms after treatment:
1. Effect on Fasting blood Sugar(FBS): The mean FBS score before treatment was
146.6 and after treatment 123.9
2. Effect on post prandial blood sugar(PPBS): The mean difference between before
and after treatment is 56.6.
Effect on FBS and PPBS may be due to the pramehagna action of Bakuchi, Avarthaki,
Madhunashi by which FBS and PPBS have reduced.
3. Effect on Urinesugar: The mean difference in the before treatment and after
treatment was 0.58%. This relief obtained could be due to the Mehagna property of
the Ingriedients of samarajyadi churnam.

It was observed that the symptoms that were mild returned back to normal after 2
months of treatment but those that were moderate came down to mild and severe
symptoms reduced to moderate intensity. Moreover, the severity and number of
symptoms seemed to be directly proportional to the increase in serum glucose levels
at the upper limit of the range Usually presented with moderate to severe symptoms
than those at the lower limit of the range. Even the number of symptoms varied in that
manner.
The most of the drugs of Somarajyadi churnam have Tikata, Kashaya Rassa, Laghu,
Rookshaguna and Katuvipaka. These are said to be Kaphagna, Mehagna, Medogna and
Mootrasangrahaneeya.
Tikta, Kashayarasa, Laghu, rookshaguna produces rookshana effect and they are
having opposite qualities to that of kapha and medas. Both medas and kapha being the main
entity of Samprapti, thus by breaking the samprapti treats the disease. Hence they act as
mehagna and kaphagna.
Bahudravatva will be present in Madhumeha. Tikta, Kashayarasa present in this yoga
produces shoshana effect. Bahudravata will be reduced by the absorption of excessive fluid
from the cells. When bahudravatra of Madhumeha also reduces. Pipasa which is dependent
on Prabhutamootrata also reduces. Somarajyadi churna reduces medas there by stoulya and as
it mutrasangrahaneeya, absorbs bahudrava and hence reduces polyuria, polydipsia and
thereby checks the pathogenesis of prameha.

CONCLUSION
1. Madhumeha mostly affects the individuals after the age of forty years.
2. Sex, Marital status, Religion, Social status bear no relation in causation of
Madhumeha.
3. Tendency towards Sedentary lifestyle, increased stress and strain are main
contributing factors in the establishment of the disease. Tendency towards
sedentary life style and faulty dietary habits, leads to vitiation of kapha and meda
leadin g to Madhumeha.
4. Kapha is the arambhaka dosha and vata is preraka.
5. Etiological factors here mainly related with kapha pitta and meda vitiation but due
to avarana vata also get vitiated.
6. Apathya nimittaja nidanas influence more to cause Madudmeha in stoulya.
7. The study confirms the dominancy of kapha dosha,meda medodhatu
dusti,Rasavaha and Medovaha srotodusti in the pathogenesis of Madhumeha.
8. Madhumeha is a disease characterized by prabhoota avila mootrata, Tanu
madhuryata and Mootra madhuryata.
9. The Madhumeha has been discussed in Prameha roga as a kind of vatika Prameha.
10. It can be concluded that on the basis of symptomatology of Madhumeha, the
disease Madhumeha can be correlated with Diabetes mellitus.
11. Dhatu apakarshana and Ojo dushti is an invariable manifestation of the disease.
12. On the basis of result of the therapy it can be deduced that Asanadi qwatha
provided relief in the chief complaints, associated signs and symptoms & was
effective in reducing the blood sugar level. The mean difference in FBS was 32.7
and PPBS 56.32
13. The present study was carried on small sample for a limited time with out
alteration in their routine dietary and physical and it showed encountering results.
However to be more confirmative further study should be conducted on large
sample for longer duration with diet and exercise.

Charaka in his Charaka samhita has mentioned thesweetness of urine in addition to polturia.
Susrutha in 500 A.D described the disease asMadhumeha with symptoms of foul breath,voracious appetite and languor.
Generally Madhumeha is known as a “richmansdisease”
Prameha is a chronic disease of relapsing nature. Thedisease is also a debilitating one.

HISTORY
Charaka explained the etiology, pathogeness, symptomatology,complications and treatment modalites in detail in Nidana 4th and chikitsa6th chapter. While in sutra sthana 17th chapter he described theavaranajanya pathogenesis of Madhumeha, this is the unique contributionof this treatise.
Susruta also explained Prameha in elaborative manner with separatechapter on its management. He used ‘Kshoudrameha’ synonym toMadhumeha in nidana 6th chapter.
Harita mentioned it as papajanya and enumerated 13 types of prameha.
Bhela described prameha is of two types.
Kashyapa mentioned the symptoms of prameha child in vedanadhyana andnoted the disease as chirakari.

SHAREEMThe pancreas is a compound alveolargland. It has got
both exocrine & endocrine function. Diabets mellitus is achronic disease due to disordered carbohydrate metabolismand it results due to deficiency of insulin secreted by theBeta cells of islets of Langerhans of pancreas.
The exocrine portion of pancreas consists of acinigrouped into lobules. The exocrine pancreas made up ofisolated group of cells the islets of langerhans.
Endocrine portion (Islets of langerhans)It is an endocrine organ which exert a profound
effect on carbohydrate metabolism.

In endocrine portion 4 cells are present(1) cells (2) cells (3) cells (4) F cells
cells synthesise and secrete glucogon and cellsproduce insulin and D cells have been linked with eithergastrin or secretin production. F cells secretes pancreaticpolypeptide (PP)
The islet volume comprises 1-1.5% of the total massof the pancreas and weighs about 1-2g in adult humans.
The first harmone to be identified as a product of theislet was insulin.

Biological Effects of Insulin
A) On Carbohydrate Metabolism:-Reduces the rate of release of glucose from liver.
By inhibiting glycogenolysis By stimulating glycogen synthesis By stimulating Glycolysis By indirectly inhibiting gluconeogenesis via inhibition of fatty acid
mobilisation from adipose tissue.B) On Lipid Metabolism:- Reduces the rate of release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue. Stimulates fatty acids synthesis and also conversion of fatty acids to
triglycerides in liver.C) On Protein Metabolism:- Stimulates transport of free amino acids across the plasma Membrane in
liver and muscle. Stimulates protein bio synthesis and reduces release of amino acid from
muscle

DISCUSSION• Prameha is a disease caused predominance by vatadosha though all the 3 doshas also
take part besides ten dooshyas i.e., Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medo, Majja, sukra, ojus,Lasika, Vasa, Kleda in resulting the disease.
• The range of Fasting and post prandial blood sugar was fixed between 120mg/dl –180mg/dl and 160mg/dl to 300mg/dl respectively.
• The pratyatma lakshana of Madhumeha including Tanumadhuryata andmutramadhuryata along with other common symptoms were taken for assessment. Thesymptoms were graded and scored.
• Maximum number of patients belonged to the age group of 51-60 years Which supportsthe views that the prevalence of type 2 DM is more in the middle to old age. Males aremore in the clinical study compared to females.
• Maximum number of patients i.e., 40% were addicted to smoking, 10% patients wereaddicted to alcohol, tobacco chewing 12.5%, tea / Coffee 38.5%. All of these conditionsdecreased the natural immunity and also provoke the vata to manifest the diseaseprameha.
• Majority of the patients are vatakaphaprakruti. Majority of the patients were ofMadhyama to avarsara which indicates the involvement of dhatus in Prameha.
• Effect on Prabhootamootrata: Mild to severe prabhoota mootrata (both in terms ofquantity and frequency) was seen in 80% of patients, 65% relief was observed inprabhutamutrata. This relief in prabhutamootrata may be due to the mutrasangrahaniaction of Avarthaki and kashaya Rasa Rookshguna of Madhunashini, avarthaki whichexerts stambhana action. It may be possible that drug has acted upon apanavayu andcorrected its vitiation.
• Effect on Avilamootrata: Only in 15% of patients avilamootrata is noted, relief was10%.
• Effect on Trushna: mild to maximum improvement was seen in 50% of patients. Therelief in trushna may be because of kaphapitta samaka effect of Avarthaki, Bakuchi andstambhana action of avarthaki and also due to Trishnanigrahana action of sunti.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
Effect on Sweda adhikhya: Atisweda was seen in 30% of patients and25% of improvement was observed .
Effect on Karapadadaha: Mild to serve Karapadadaha was seen in 62%of the le patients and mild to moderate improvement was seen in 50%of the patients.
Effect on Bahvashi: Mild to moderate Bahvashita was seen in 75% of thepatients 16% improvement was observed. This is due to Kaphapittasamaka action of Bakuchi, Avarthaki. This may be the reason for therelief in atikshudha.
Effect on Fasting blood Sugar(FBS): The mean FBS score beforetreatment was 146.6 and after treatment 123.9
Effect on post prandial blood sugar(PPBS): The mean differencebetween before and after treatment is 56.6.
Effect on Urinesugar: The mean difference in the before treatment andafter treatment was 0.58%.
The most of the drugs of Somarajyadi churnam have Tikata, KashayaRassa, Laghu, Rookshaguna and Katuvipaka. These are said to beKaphagna, Mehagna, Medogna and Mootrasangrahaneeya.
Tikta, Kashayarasa, Laghu, rookshaguna produces rookshana effect andthey are having opposite qualities to that of kapha and medas.
created by technoayurveda.wordpress.com of Dr.KSRPrasad
CONCLUSION• Prameha mostly affects the individuals after the age of forty
years.• Sex, Marital status, Religion, Social status bear no relation
in causation of Madhumeha.• Tendency towards Sedentary lifestyle, increased stress and
strain are main contributing factors in the establishment ofthe disease.
• Kapha is the arambhaka dosha and vata is preraka.• Apathya nimittaja nidanas influence more to cause
Madudmeha in stoulya.• Madhumeha is a disease characterized by prabhoota avila
mootrata, Tanu madhuryata and Mootra madhuryata.• Dhatu apakarshana and Ojo dushti is an invariable
manifestation of the disease.
